"I
don’t have anything to add. I don’t want to let my own voice muddy the water.
Just listen or read below as you prefer, or click through on the embeded tweet,
which is first in the thread." (Fred T.) . . .
"Here
are the facts – actual, confirmed facts – that shape their perspective: 1) The
FBI/etc spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the
Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from Day 1
(see: Brennan’s July 2016 memo, etc).
Trump supporters know the collusion case front and back. They went from worrying the collusion must be real, to suspecting it might be fake, to realizing it was a scam, then watched as every institution – agencies, the press, Congress, academia – gaslit them for another year.
Worse,
collusion was used to scare people away from working in the administration.
They knew their entire lives would be investigated. Many quit because they were
being bankrupted by legal fees. The DoJ, press, & gov’t destroyed lives and
actively subverted an elected admin.
This
is where people whose political identity was largely defined by a naive belief
in what they learned in Civics class began to see the outline of a Regime that
crossed all institutional boundaries. Because it had stepped out of the shadows
to unite against an interloper.
GOP
propaganda still has many of them thinking in terms of partisan binaries, but A
LOT of Trump supporters see that the Regime is not partisan. They all know that
the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard
vs Jeb Bush election.
It’s
hard to describe to people on the left (who are used to thinking of gov’t as a
conspiracy… Watergate, COINTELPRO, WMD, etc) how shocking & disillusioning
this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army, and hate
ppl who don’t stand for the Anthem.
They
could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the
behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate
journalists more than they hate any politician or gov’t official, because they
feel most betrayed by them.
The
idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If
that were true, they’d be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is
the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says
will ever make them unsee that, period.
This
is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don’t know for certain whether ballots
were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press,
the FBI, etc would lie to them if there was. They have every reason to believe
that, and it’s probably true.
They
watched the press behave like animals for four years. Tens of millions of
people will always see Kavanaugh as a gang rapist, based on nothing, because of
CNN. And CNN seems proud of that. They led a lynch mob against a high school
kid. They cheered on a summer of riots.
They
always claimed the media had liberal bias, fine, whatever. They still thought
the press would admit truth if they were cornered. Now they don’t. It’s a
different thing to watch them invent stories whole cloth in order to destroy
regular lives and spark mass violence.
Time
Mag told us that during the 2020 riots, there were weekly conference calls
involving, among others, leaders of the protests, the local officials who
refused to stop them, and media people who framed them for political effect. In
Ukraine we call that a color revolution.
Throughout
the summer, Democrat governors took advantage of COVID to change voting
procedures. It wasn’t just the mail-ins (they lowered signature matching
standards, etc). After the collusion scam, the fake impeachment, Trump ppl
expected shenanigans by now."
